are distributor markings on brand new MikroTik hardware allowed?

Hello :)

I've got a pretty simple question this time: does MikroTik allow dealers to put their markings on brand new hardware and/or packaging?

I've recently seen hardware with dealer's sticker on the bottom of enclosure. If it's allowed - is this a popular practice in your country?
